Arsenal have been dealt another blow with highly rated loanee William Saliba saying he wants to stay in France with Marseille after they secured qualification for the Champions League.
Marseille thrashed Strasbourg 4-0 on the final day to pip Monaco to second place and finish runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain.
Speaking after Marseille’s emphatic win on Saturday, Saliba said: ‘I want to come back and play the Champions League. I have never played in it and I want to discover it here.’
Saliba joined Arsenal in 2019 for £27million but has yet to play a game for the Gunners.
